"I’ll be damned if I fall for your charms, fae…”

Ryke, the fierce king of dragons, wants blood. A faerie killed one of his own, and vengeance is all he craves. So when a faerie burning for the same revenge stumbles into his territory, he seizes her as his prisoner. Deals are struck, magic seals their fates, and suddenly enemies find themselves bound tighter than either expected.

Their every clash is fire and fury—a dance of blades, wings, and words sharp enough to cut. But hate has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous when desire sparks in its place. As danger closes in, Ryke and his unwilling captive must decide: cling to revenge, or surrender to the fate that binds them… even if love turns out to be the deadliest risk of all.

I had him shackled and bound, but he was still in control. "I want to break you apart," he growled. So I whispered, "Then earn it." He will.

She’s a goddess who holds the world in her hands—yet craves the one thing she can’t command: surrender. He’s the mortal bold enough to take her there, binding her with chains and pulling her into a storm of pain and pleasure she never imagined. But passion this fierce doesn’t come without a cost. When an immortal dragon refuses to pay love’s price, the balance of fate shatters. Desire turns dangerous, devotion burns like fire, and the line between ruin and redemption grows razor-thin. In a realm where gods can fall and mortals can rise, obsession might just be the only way to survive.

FAE is the first installment in a gripping trilogy of Light versus Dark: FAE, by novelists Colet Abedi and Jasmine Abedi. Inspired by a mystery that remains unsolved more than 400 years later – the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island – and with compelling narrative urgency, the authors transport the reader into the world of the Fae, both Light and Dark, as the battle that has been destined for thousands of years is about to begin…

Manteo High School student Caroline Ellis just turned sixteen, setting in motion a series of events that have been fated for centuries. Little does she know that she is the rightful heir to the throne of the Light Fae, and it is believed that she is the one to unite the Light and the Dark through union with her soul mate: heir to throne of the Dark Fae, Devilyn Reilly.

Devilyn is the only one of the Fae who is both of the Light and of the Dark and must struggle to maintain that precarious balance and not to succumb to the power of the Dark within him. Understanding his mission – that he is the only one who can save Caroline from those who would destroy her; destroy all hope for unity amongst the Fae and the very future of humanity – he is reluctantly enrolled at Manteo High School, quickly becoming its star quarterback.

After a tumultuous relationship, Devilyn tells Caroline who she is. Who he is. He promises her that he will protect her at all costs, and this also means protecting her from him. They can and never will be together, for the prophecy also makes clear that the union that will bring peace amongst the Fae will also bring Caroline’s own destruction...

Told from the alternating perspectives of Caroline and Devilyn, FAE draws on mysteries, myths and legends to create a world, and a romance, dangerously poised between Light and Dark.

Lydia, a woman with ancient powers drawn from legends, must fulfill her destiny in being the guardian of the king of shadows, Gabriel, and despite the loathsome sentiments the two harbor for each other, they find themselves fighting off more than just their growing feelings, but also the foreboding signs of a prophecy that alludes to war.

Custom demanded that Prince Urban get a love mark tattooed to the side of his left eye as an infant, just like the rest of his people, but to him, the stupid things have only brought on the scorn of his father, the misery of his siblings, and caused his entire kingdom to go broke from fighting so many wars over the irritating ink stains.

When Urban’s sister must travel to Donnelly, the kingdom within the sand, for her arranged marriage to align two realms, he goes with her. But he no sooner steps foot inside their castle than his mark starts itching like a son of a bitch, telling him his one true love is near.

It just figures, though, that the woman meant for him is completely forbidden. Now he must decide if he should ignore the persistent mark, telling him she's the one, in order to avoid a possible war between kingdoms, or if he should discover whether she's worth risking everything for so they can be together. Either way, his life gets sucked into chaos with threats of beheadings, dark magic lurking, castle traitors scheming, and sword fights eminent.

Who knew one little tattoo could cause so much trouble?

Left with unanswered questions and a heart full of confusion, Lux tries to move on, but nothing about their bond ever truly fades. When hidden truths begin to surface, she is pulled into a conflict far bigger than she ever imagined, where loyalty, identity, and desire blur into something dangerous.

Geva, a member of the dragon queen’s Court has two desires: to make Erika happy and to convince the adventurous woman to stay put long enough to bear his child.

In a realm carved apart by war, Sylviara reigns as a scholar-queen determined to rebuild what her tyrant brother destroyed. From the frozen North rides Kaelthar, a fearsome berserker whose rage once fueled the very battles she now seeks to end. When fate binds them together, fire meets ice—and the sparks ignite something stronger than either expected. As betrayal brews and ancient prophecies stir, their union becomes more than alliance or desire. It’s the one force powerful enough to mend a kingdom torn in two. But peace demands sacrifice—and even legends are forged in fire.

Tempura is the hero everyone whispers about—the fearless warrior who rides a mighty dragon into battle. The truth? She’s never fought a war, never swung a sword, and definitely never slain a soul. But in a brewing clash between humans and dragons, she’s been cast as the savior… and she has no choice but to play the part. Hiding in her mountain home, she thinks she’s a Dragon Master—until a battered, real one shows up on her doorstep. Together, they uncover that neither of them is truly in control. The dragons have their own plans, and Tempura must discover her real power before the truth shatters everything.

Toraval, a once-proud Fae prince, now wanders the vale in exile, stripped of title, power, and purpose. His life is empty, his path uncertain, until he finds Emmaline—a Fire Fae, last of her kind, hunted to extinction and erased from memory. Duty whispers that delivering her to his family could restore everything he lost: his name, his throne, his power. But desire burns hotter than obligation. As his heart betrays his plans, Toraval must choose between reclaiming a crown or protecting the woman he never expected to love, in a world where love is the ultimate rebellion.

At last, the Queen awakens. Can the affections of a human male awaken the rest of the species, as well?

Corey isn’t like the other explorers who have entered the long-lost dragon temple deep in the Sumatran jungle. Whereas to his eyes, their predilections are hardly discriminate, he longs for a partner—a woman who will be his equal, who might love him as much as she challenges him.

What he’s presented with, however, is a woman who just might be his better. Racha, the Queen of Dragons, has awakened after five centuries of slumber, and she only has eyes for Corey, despite them hardly knowing one another. His reluctance to bed her delays the last and most crucial step in the ritual which will awaken the brood of dragons she rules, and though her beautiful, perfect form serves as temptation, Corey can’t bring himself to give up his preconceived notions of what love is.

The clock is ticking, and so is the time-bomb of power inside Rasha. Can she convince him to listen to his heart, or will the energy granted to her by the other couples’ unions consume them both?

Two hundred years before Ella Briarsand is chosen to stand beside Prince Alaric, the Realm teeters on the brink of ruin. Princess Aubrey is bound by duty to choose a consort, her future planned and paraded before the court. But when she meets Mazale, a Vampyr forbidden from ever standing near the crown, an ancient and dangerous bond awakens. Their connection must remain secret, watched closely by the ever-present clergy. As enchantments twist memory and power slips into betrayal, Aubrey is forced to choose between the life demanded of her and the man she was never meant to love. Long before a queen could rise, one forbidden love nearly brought the crown to its knees.

Camille never believed she could capture the attention of the object of her desire, the gorgeous, irreverent geologist, Eben. Now she is over the moon with happiness at being adored not only by him, but the Dragon Guardian, Roka, who she awakened during the Ritual with her virgin blood.

But when a black dragon, a Shadow named Rafe, shows up unannounced and in dire need of help, their perfect trio is forced to split. Without the Guardian’s balancing influence, Camille and Eben find themselves at odds over their new mission: rejoining Erika to help locate the lost fragment of the Verdanith, the magical artifact that will enhance dragon fertility and allow Camille to conceive Roka’s child.

There are secrets being kept even among their close-knit group, and the only dragon Camille trusts to be honest with her is thousands of miles away on a separate secret mission. Even Eben’s uncharacteristic silence worries Camille, but she can’t seem to get through to him.

Will she and Eben be able to overcome their differences and find their way back to the love they first shared? Will their idyllic trio be reunited after Roka completes his mission?
